In 1976, Canadian stuntman Ken Carter declared his intention to jump a mile over the St. Lawrence Seaway in a rocket powered car. In 2008, Canadian musician Mark Haney declared his intention to pay tribute to Ken Carter in the form of a concept album for solo double bass. In 2011, Canadian filmmaker John Bolton declared his intention to make a "musical docudrama" about both men. Aim for the Roses is a one-of-a-kind film, about a one-of-a-kind album, about a one-of-a-kind stunt, all three of which could only happen in Canada.

Straight from the twisted mind of Michael Moody, 'The Homegrown Collection' takes you deep into the underground stunt scene and redefines our perception of what the human body can handle. Watch the footage as people get broken, battered and destroyed in some of the most freakish acts caught on home video tape; then watch them do it again. The footage included in this electrifying DVD will leave you on the edge of your seat, filled with shock, gasping for breath as you wait to see the next bizarre clip of video. Witness insane stunts such as Dan G using a power drill to impale a screw into his arm, Trailer Park Mafia's Buckwild getting bit in the nose by a piranha and hilarious pranks like tricking somebody into eating a brownie (which really is a piece of microwaved dog poop). To them Homegrown isn't just a hobby, it's a way of life. And lucky for us they caught it all on tape.West Indies
